Abstract (en)

Provided is a method for producing cobalt powder with high reaction efficiency by controlling the amount of added seed crystals when cobalt powder is produced from a solution containing a cobalt ammine sulfate complex. The method sequentially includes: a mixing step of adding, to the solution containing a cobalt ammine sulfate complex, cobalt powder as seed crystals in an amount of 1.5 times or more and 3.0 times or less the amount of cobalt contained in the solution and then adding a dispersant in an amount of 1.5% by weight to 3.0% by weight of the added seed crystals to form a mixture slurry; and a reduction and precipitation step of charging a reaction vessel with the mixture slurry and then blowing hydrogen gas into the mixture slurry to reduce cobalt complex ions contained in the mixture slurry to form cobalt precipitate on the surface of the seed crystals.
